Political Address.
[Psb Pbxsb Association.]
BRUNNERTON, June 12.
Mr Guinness addressed his constituents last night. He declared that the borrowing of the Seddon Ministry was unlike that of Sir J. Yogel or Sir H. Atkinson. He favoured employers being left to fix the day for the half-holiday. Referring to the Midland Railway he said the Government had full power under the Act to take the line. He would help the Government by his vote to get the million and a quarter required to finish- the line. The Government would have to borrow, and at the same time would have to borrow for the Otago and North Island lines; they could not hope to get the Midland by itself. The electors had, only to understand the matter, when they would . consent to borrow more extensively for reproductive works. He would vote for borrowing, even should the Ministry have to go to the country on the question. He was accorded a vote of thanka and confidence.
